TRIAL PRACTICE
When the Stakes Are High...
Bench and jury trials involve high stakes for plaintiffs and defendants alike. Regardless of the side you may find yourself on, you need a trial lawyer you can trust — an attorney ready to go to battle for you, an attorney who will fight to the finish.
I am that attorney.

You Need a Lawyer Who’s Battle-Tested
As a trial lawyer, I have spent more than 30 years in courtrooms across the country, serving as the lead litigator in several billion-dollar cases.
I am battle-tested and better for it.
The victories I have earned reflect my professionalism, tenacity when guiding my clients through their legal disputes.
I have represented clients in many industries, including:
- Energy
- Technology
- Heath care/pharmaceuticals/biomedical devices
- Manufacturing
- Financial services
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
- Mass torts
I am licensed in both Texas and New York, and my successes have included defending major oil companies, hedge funds, banks, health companies, Grammy-winning entertainers and software companies in both state and federal courts.
I have also served as lead counsel in more than 70 patent infringement cases. I successfully defended major toy manufacturers from product liability litigation and a tobacco company against the state of Texas.
Altogether, I have tried more than 50 cases with over $100 billion at stake. These cases involved some of the most complex and high-stakes issues a company can face, such as:
- Product liability
- Intellectual property disputes, including patent and trademark infringement
- Trade-secret misappropriation
- Class actions
- Employment disputes
- Commercial lawsuits
- Environmental litigation
Clients I have represented include Microsoft, bp, JPMorgan Chase, Garmin, R.J. Reynolds and Grammy Award-winning music group Lady A.
A Courtroom Warrior
In my three decades as a trial lawyer, I have become known as a warrior in the courtroom and someone who cannot be intimidated or outworked. My clients describe me as loyal, empathetic and detail-oriented. My opponents call me tough but fair.
I am a team player who has worked seamlessly with general counsel and co-counsel to achieve success. I have the legal knowledge, creativity and experience to develop a winning trial strategy, all while ensuring I provide sound legal advice, which enables my clients to consider all factors when deciding how to handle their cases.
But what sets me apart is my desire to become more than your lawyer. I am your partner and your fiercest advocate. I am always straightforward and honest and am not afraid of conflict or having the tough conversations that frequently arise in high-stakes litigation.
My development began in law school, where I was able to hone my advocacy skills. Since graduating in 1993, I have worked at two major law firms and attained the office of senior vice president at a global firm with 2,650 lawyers.
Despite that success, I still consider the courtroom my “happy place.” It’s where I belong. My greatest professional achievements have occurred in courtrooms representing clients in complex, high-profile cases.
Battle Ready
I have the talent, tenacity and experience to take on any litigation regardless of the size, number of parties or amount at stake. Equally important, I have the knowledge to handle a range of complex issues, from intellectual property disputes to product liability litigation.
I have fought on behalf of some of the largest companies in the country and won. I now stand ready to handle any complex legal issue you face.

I am pleased to have the ability to develop a fee structure that meets the needs of a particular case. Whether it is discounted rates, flat fees or other fee arrangements, I’m committed to your assurance that you are getting the greatest value for your investment, unconstrained by the high fee structures associated with large law firms.
